Kisumu, Kenya: Kisumu Deputy Speaker Pamela Jossy was injured and rushed to hospital following a scuffle at the assembly Tuesday.

This comes just days after Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga intervened in the growing disputes at the county assembly and agreed with the parties to have Ms Jossy chair the sessions in the interim capacity.
